Compass Odyssey is outstanding in every way; great service, awesome guides, and spectacular tours!
Darren, aka Crusty, and Kate provided us great service during the 3 1/2 years it took to get us to Africa. We started planning this trip in 2019 and then, you all know what happened in spring of 2020! Darren was so patient and helpful through two sets of dates over the past 3 years. Their attention to detail is outstanding; they left nothing to chance for our trip. We were elated to finally make this trip in March 2023 and it was better than I ever dreamed it would be.
All of the tour guides and drivers that hired by Compass Odyssey were fantastic; very helpful and attentive to our needs and security. Tifo our safari guide in Botswana, through the Chobe River Lodge was the best safari guide I've ever had. Tifo was driving, missing many of the ruts and holes while looking for animals all around us and checking the ground for tracks and scat. He was amazing. And, Garth, our guide in Cape Town, was the best tour guide I've ever had the pleasure of learning from. Garth gave us a concise history of Cape Town and surroundings. He was also very knowledgeable on the winemaking areas. Garth presented all the information in a well-ordered classroom type format. He made it very easy to listen to and in a very interesting manner.
Again, this trip with Compass Odyssey's help, was one of our favorite trips, ever!

He was very knowledgeable and very professional
I went to the Ngorongoro Crater. It was absolutely amazing. There were plenty of animals in the Crater. We were able to get some amazing pictures.
Philmont delivered everything he said he would and more. I am planning on returning to see the Serengeti. Can't wait to return

Would definitely recommend Compass Odyssey!
From the start, Compass Odyssey was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and patient. We had a group of 8 travelling to Botswana/Zimbabwe and South Africa for a 3 week period. The trip was postponed twice due to COVID, and this company never skipped a beat.
Having multiple questions, changes, and concerns, they were always there to provide in-depth knowledge of the area/visa information/COVID protocols, etc.
Additionally, the tour guides were fantastic, especially Garth in South Africa. He was knowledgeable, patient, and flexible. The hotels were top notch and the tours were on time.
Having been in the travel industry for many years, I would definitely use this Compass Odyssey again.

This was amazing!
I had a 6 day tour and everything was perfect from A to Z!
I have been welcomed in Arusha airport with local champagne, cookies and a briefing on the days to come.
The itinerary was perfect and accommodations amazing, from Arusha to Serengeti through Karatu. Lunches at picnic site were a 5star experience too :)
Special thanks and special kudos to Kisali the French speaking driver and guide who is so professional! He knows a lot about fauna and flora and is really passionate. I have learnt a lot and thanks to him and to his incredible sight I could see so many animals that no one else could spot. I really could not imagine something better than the moment I had!

fantastic
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about every part of the trip down to knowing individual trees in the Seregeti. I would happily go on another safari with our amazing guy Leslie.
